Its not becoming better for everyone, easy games are boring, most people I know want to play long, challenging games, but games companies want to make them easy and short. when you can get lvl 30-90 and get a full relic in 1 month the game is too easy and subscritpions will fall, the casual players are the minority of the player base, and the only reason hardcore players do the pathetically easy content now is because the gear is better.
I am only keeping my subscription in the hope that SE stops what they are doing and puts some challenge into the game. if they dont they might as well just send all the best gear directly to the players and kill the game because it will die if they dont make it more of a challenge
As a long time enjoyer of Dynamis, I'm kind of sad to see the old method put to rest. half of me inside is all giddy about it though lol. After having RDM to level for so long, and over 5 years of doing Dynamis' and seeing so many hats going to others (for the most part was excited to see them get it, but still cried a little inside each time haha) now I can see it easier to get the darn thing.
I think I saw that this is only the original Dynamis zones?? Maybe I read it wrong but I see that as SE saying "OK alot of people will be unhappy, some will like it some wont. Lets compromise, we'll take the "easy" zones and make it "more accessible" but leave some of the zones for the more "Old-fashioned" players." Win for everyone? Sounds like it.
Maybe it's just me, but I still have faith in SE that at some point, when 99 is reached, a great new end game idea will be released. Abyssea will be the means to level and skill to get there, but there will be new challenges like the old Sky/Sea/Dynamis areas we all hold so dear to our hearts that we love to hate.
Also, I think maybe the idea of this forum was for SE to get a better understanding of what people want, how about instead of criticizing all the changes they implement, we give cheers for them just trying to revamp the game we all love(no im not saying everyone criticizes everything in forums not meaning any insult to anyone) and trying to make it interesting in some fashion. If we can provide well thought ideas on things we might like to see added maybe its something they can start implementing for us.
I know I went off Dynamis topic, I'm sorry to rant on lol. But, yea, go SE keep making the game relevant and exciting /cheer
If I ever saw a MMO do this, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. The worst part of MMOs have always been the part where you have to spend hours, every week, doing things you don't want to do. All because some item drops from the activity.How about SE just send a relic, mythic, lvl90 empyrian to everyones delivery boxes for no work at all?
Also you should consider your example in real life. If someone gave you a car for free, would you complain that you didn't get to work and earn the car, or would you be happy? Another good question is if you'd complain that you didn't earn the money for the car by working at a farm, LIKE THE GOOD OLD DAYs, and instead got the easy patched version where you worked in an office.
It all usually boils down to the same thing. You want bragging rights. You want to be able to say you spent 500 days playing FFXI and now got 20 jobs at 90. You want to say you got a relic weapon, that nobody else has. Any sane person would accept things for free as long as they'd have some enjoyment out of the item.
You are somone that has been spoiled by modern games that you can clock in 1 day and get everything in 2, also if you want everything given to you then you shouldnt play mmos, mmos are designed to take awhile, not so you can get everything in 1 month cancel your subscription then never play again. Any mmo that does this will die a fast death.
If SE can make it so it takes 2yrs to get somthing they will make alot more money than if you can get everything in 3 months and its somthing that keeps you playing.
Oh and if you check my ffxiah profile (same name as my display name here) you will see i dont have 20 jobs at lvl 90 and i dont have a relic, I just want the game to be a challenge and make me want to play, as i said before the only thing keeping me playing is the hope that some worthwhile endgame gets released this year, not an NM that will be killed it 5 seconds with the single worse item i have seen in a game.
Solo Dynamis if you want a challenge.... Seriously, i don't get it... If you needed to dig a big ass hole in the ground to install a pool and you had the option to use shovel or an Excavator, you would use the shovel just for the challenge. .... Actually... i can think a few people that would >..>. Ugh i cant understand all this Q.Qing lol

lol its funny how many people are starting to throw in the rl cards, guess what this is a game, I like my games to be a challenge like most of the player base and i dont want to solo anything because thats not why I play a mmo, i play a mmo to, guess what, play with other people which is where the massivly multiplayer comes in.
But seeing as people are throwing in the rl cards heres one, who here had a ferarri when they were 17? i can guess no one, but if you work for it and save the money up, you could have one later in life.
Or will you think that its too much work, you would just prefer to get a beat up car you got off wellfare because you couldnt be bothered to work?
The only reason I use atma is becaue its whats expected, I would much prefer not to, and I dont use any of the other things you mentioned and never will.Ppl complain there is no challenge and yet use atmas, dualbox chars, use windower, use bots. Seriously?

It's not being spoiled. Games are being designed to take less time out of the day in one session because people have less time these days. That doesn't mean that the shorter time you spend can't be fun and/or challenging. Why should th e only metric that matters be the amount of time you spent to get something? "Oh, it took me 100 hours to get this item, i'm more awesome than you?" Um... no. "I beat this tough NM to get this item" doesn't require that you spend a jillion hours as a prerequisite.You are somone that has been spoiled by modern games that you can clock in 1 day and get everything in 2
You are someone who is used to things taking forever in games and can't accept that something can be fun and challenging even if it doesn't take forever.
Then you're paranoid. Do you question people when they do something nice for you without you asking?if someone gave me a car free...the first question i'd ask is"WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT?!"
